Some notes from when I tweaked one of these units
This is based on the AC8227L JCAC10003 version, I originally ordered from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005259929995.html
Service/Factory Passwords: Factory Reset (1234), Developer Settings (5678), Other Settings (56789)
To Edit the following, you need to do a backup to USB, extract the iviconfig.zip using password jancar, afterwards you can rezip without password and import back into the headunit
To fix jumping volume around level 7:
Open ivi-config.ini, find the line:
BD37534VolumeCurve=-79.0(0)
Change to:
BD37534VolumeCurve=65.0(0),64.0(1),61.0(2),59.0(3),57.0(4),55.0(5),53.0(6),51.0(7), 49.0(8),47.0(9),45.0(10),43.0(11),41.0(12),39.0(13),37.0(14),35.0(15),33.0(16),31.0(17),29.0(18),27.0(19),25.0(20),23.0(21),21.0(22),19.0(23),17.0(24),15.0(25),13.0(26), 11.0(27), 9.0(28),7.0(29),5.0(30),3.0(31),1.0(32),-1.0(33),-3.0(34),-5.0(35),-7.0(36), -9.0(37),-11.0(38),-13.0(39),-15.0(40)
I also changed the PreVolume values under [Audio] to all be '5', this helped balance volume levels between carplay/radio etc - It seemed to help differences in Siri volume but still need to tweak to get it perfect
If MIC Volume is too low:
Try the following,
Microphone Sensitivity Setting: Settings/Factory Settings/Password 56789/Enter Vehicle Settings/Other/Engineer Mode/ Hardware Testing/Audio
Internal Microphone, we need Normal Mode.
If an external microphone, we need Headset Mode.
In Type, select Mic (microphone), then, starting from Level0, increase the Value is indicator, as in the example, and save by pressing Set...
Naturally, without the meanings that, for example, in parentheses ...
